So I have 3 hens that I have had since last year, they each lay an egg a day more or less. Few days ago I purchased two more (6 week old ones) and introduced them to the cage. Since day one there has been fighting. Today I found one of the new ones with all of its feathers missing from its head...

So about a month and a half my quail stopped laying eggs, well out of 4, 3 did. My quail changed their feathers etc. Nothing changed in the environment except light-associated with the season. I installed a 100w solar panel with a 7w led flood light to supplement. I still get one egg a day. ***...

My Quail will be going into the garage for the winter, what would be the best light to use once they're there? Would LED be ok?

Coturnix here, have been getting an egg a day(4) for past 3 months. Recently I put straw into the "laying box". Since then I get 1-2 a day. Nothing else changed, food, sandbox, water etc the same. Maybe less sunlight since fall is kicking in. Would straw do it? or the temps dropping, sunglight...

Fairly familiar with solar, have a 500w 24v system that powers all soffit lights + Xmas lights in winter. What I want to do is, get solar, charge maybe a 6v battery, or few AAs and have few "accent" LEDs in the coop. Anyone?

never done this before. Only hatched eggs twice. Would putting a California roo into a cage with 4 Coturnix hens work? Would the eggs get fertilized and be good to go? What would come out :)????

Well, first incubation was a failure. sort of. I opened it few times and apparently my chicks got shrink wrapped. one survived-I helped it out, died 3 days later.... I had 7 eggs in. 2nd time I put 7 eggs in, and got 5 out. all healthy-all survived. Got random eggs out of 50 in the fridge, and...

I have a quail that was abused by others and feathers were pulled out, there also was blood and swollen eyes. Right now she is fine, laying etc. She still has no feathers at the back of her head, only black dots. When will the feathers grow back?

So I come home, first thing as usual I go to check on my birds, I get the eggs, check water, and I hear something chirping by the quail cage, a baby ROBIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! so I grab it and take it home from the 34C we are having today. It doesn't fly, just jumps maybe 5-6 inches. I put it in the...

ok, so I'm on day 16. What now? stop turning, bump up humidity, remove shelving, put a towel. After they start hatching, remove them and move to brooder where a 60w bulb will be. How do I show them how to eat/drink?

Somewhat tired of removing them to refill, if i drill a hole on the top will they drain themselves? I thought it might be easier to water them from the top with a watering can?

So everything was going well, me and my daughter we left last week on wed and came home today. My parents were feeding my 4 hens and one roo. they said yesterday they saw one of them in the corner sitting for the whole day-they thought it was sick or something. Today when they went to feed them...

Mearns Quail, why are they so expensive? What is the fascination with these? Are these problematic to breed?? Found one guy, he wanted 60$ per egg!!!

Ok, built went fine with the Chinese temp control, thumbs up to china for coming up with a piece that was 6$ shipped. My "box" is 18x12x18. 100w bulb. it takes it half an hour to get to 37.5C which is 99.5 which I think is too long. As soon as I start the fan to recirc the air It drops...

They go on ebay for 30$. I don't really want to breed quail for living, just wanted to give it a shot once, or twice. I only have 4 hens and a roo. Anyone ever try one of these? Opinions?

1. How do you guys feed your quail the eggshells? i understand they have to be crushed, but how much? When crushed, do i mix them with something? 2. So far i only found 20% feed, bought 50lb bag. Can't find anything higher, so dry mealworms will have to do for a while as a boost. Last time...

Hi guys, just finished this with my father and my 7 year old daughter. My question is, in the box, we put wood shavigs, how do you go about cleaning it? Do you guys use anything else? any suggestions? should I get something inside there so its easier to clean? This is the coop And that's...
